Bursts of violent power erupted from that giant hand, with explosive sounds emanating from it.

After seeing this, a look of seriousness flashed through Ding Fan’s eyes, and his whole body tensed up.

The giant nets enveloping the hand all snapped, releasing an unparalleled fierce aura.

Waves of violently gusting air rushed menacingly toward Ding Fan and others.

Witnessing this, everyone around was shocked, exclaiming in astonishment:

"This... such strong power, how can such terrifying power burst forth from this giant hand?"

Xia Ling and the others looked in disbelief at the hand releasing violent power, while Zhuge Qing also wore a grim expression, his gaze fixed on Ding Fan.

"Indeed, this giant hand isn’t simple, something even the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword fears, truly extraordinary!"

Zhuge Qing spoke calmly, but his gaze occasionally shifted toward Ding Fan’s direction.

"I wonder how Ding Fan plans to handle this..."

As Zhuge Qing pondered, a sharp light flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes, and a torrent of unmatched power erupted from within him, releasing an even sharper aura.

After breaking free from the web’s constraints, the giant hand in the sky, filled with a violent force, lunged toward the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword.

Witnessing this, a serious look flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes, and finger gestures in his hand transformed swiftly.

Unusual ripples emanated from Ding Fan’s body as his finger gestures changed, and the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword in the sky began retreating rapidly, a terrifying aura bursting from it.

Just as the sword frantically withdrew, waves of violent air erupted from the giant hand, which opened menacingly toward the sword.

Seeing this, Ding Fan’s eyes filled with surprise, his palm erupting with blinding light. As the light exploded, the entire corridor filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers, witnessing this, all had serious looks in their eyes, reflexively turning to look at Ding Fan.

"Brother Ding, please be careful..."

A tense expression appeared on Xia Ling’s face, her gentle voice echoing softly.

A keen glimmer appeared in Ding Fan’s eyes, and violent waves burst forth from within him.

His fingers subtly forming gestures, a light emanated from Ding Fan’s hand, forming a spinning miniature formation.

As the formation gradually took shape in Ding Fan’s hand, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and with a slight flick of his palm, he sent the formation flying.

As Ding Fan’s formation took shape, the giant hand in the sky neared the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword, almost reaching the blade.

At that moment, a tremendous aura swept in from afar, enveloping the sword and the giant hand in a massive formation.

Once the formation enveloped the sword, pale yellow strands of spiritual power swiftly wrapped around the giant hand.

Tremendous waves of power erupted from these yellow strands, enveloping the entire giant hand with terrifying energy.

The Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword quickly returned to Ding Fan, and he could feel the strong fear emanating from its blade.

Ding Fan frowned, a serious expression in his eyes, shocked that the sword was so frightened by this giant hand.

A determined look flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes, and his aura became more aggressive.

With a change of finger gestures by Ding Fan, the sky-high formation erupted with profound ripples, making the strands inside it densely packed. Streaks of terrifying power-thread entwined the giant hand tightly, rendering it immobile.

A hint of astonishment flashed in Zhuge Qing’s eyes. He never expected Ding Fan to possess such methods. From the fluctuations emanating from the Formation, Zhuge Qing could judge that with the power on this giant hand, it was absolutely impossible to break free from Ding Fan’s array.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Qing looked at Ding Fan with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Although Ding Fan was known by many to be exceedingly powerful, Zhuge Qing had never witnessed it personally until today, and it left him astounded.

"It seems Ding Fan’s strength should not be underestimated..."

Looking in Ding Fan’s direction, Zhuge Qing murmured to himself.

While Zhuge Qing was secretly shocked, Ding Fan’s eyes were fixed on the giant hand. Although with the strength of the Formation he had managed to restrain this hand, Ding Fan knew the power on this giant hand was far from simple. Had it been merely such a simple power, the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword wouldn’t fear it so much.

Nearby, Xia Ling and the two Yuan brothers cautiously glanced at the giant hand before slowly approaching Ding Fan. Xia Ling softly said to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, has this giant hand been completely controlled by you now?"

Hearing Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers’ words, Ding Fan’s lips twitched slightly. Then, nodding slowly to them, he said:

"So far, this giant hand indeed cannot move an inch. But I know that this is not the true power of the giant hand. What exists beyond it is the most terrifying..."

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s eyes filled with horror, and she fixed them on the gigantic hand.

"Brother Ding, are you saying that behind this giant hand, there is definitely an extremely formidable presence?"

After hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan nodded slowly again, paused a bit, then said to Xia Ling:

"Exactly! An existence that could make the Dragon-Slaying Demon-Beheading Sword this afraid cannot be simple!"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s eyes flickered with terror, and her body involuntarily tensed up.

In the midst of their conversation, an intensely fierce emotion erupted from the giant hand, emanating waves of violent energy.

Upon feeling this, Ding Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly. A cold glint slowly emerged from his gaze, and after pondering for a moment, waves of violent energy surged forth from his eyes, tensing his entire body.

With the eruption of intense emotion from the giant hand, the passage around them began to shake subtly, and dust fell from the walls.

Explosive sounds filled the ears of Ding Fan and the others. Hearing this, Ding Fan’s eyes gradually narrowed as he stared fixedly in the direction of the giant hand. A sense of foreboding seeped into his mind.

While Ding Fan was silently astonished, from the void in the passageway, ripples of air spread out. With the spread of these air ripples, an enormous foot stepped out from the void.

As the foot stepped out, a massive humanoid beast appeared in everyone’s sight.

Upon seeing this humanoid beast, Ding Fan’s eyes were filled with astonishment, and he exclaimed in shock:

"What... what kind of monster is this?"

When Zhuge Qing saw this humanoid monster, his eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed:

"This... this is the Ancient Magical Spirit Beast!?"

As soon as Zhuge Qing finished speaking, everyone around him looked in his direction, their eyes filled with questions.

Noticing the crowd’s gaze, Zhuge Qing’s eyes showed a hint of awkwardness, and he slowly said to everyone:

"As far as I know, this humanoid beast before us is the Ancient Magical Spirit Beast, a creature with legends dating back to the Divine Realm!"

After hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, a gleam flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes, and he asked Zhuge Qing slowly:

"Ancient Magical Spirit Beast? Is it a formidable Divine Beast?"
